Draw a figure that illustrates the reflection and refraction of light.
(N/A) The figure shows a light ray incident on an interface between two media $(1)$ and $(2)$.
$1$. Reflection: When the incident ray strikes the surface,a part of it bounces back into the same medium. The angle of incidence $i$ is equal to the angle of reflection $i$.
$2$. Refraction: The remaining part of the light ray enters the second medium and changes its direction. The angle of refraction is denoted by $r$.
